Tribune Press Reporter 1 $ 00 www.DeWittMedia.com Volume 126, Number 20 Glenwood City, Wisconsin 54013 Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Fire damages storage building at Misty Meadows Wood Products GLENWOOD CITY — Fire damaged the large chipped wood storage building at the Misty Meadows Wood Products Company located on Glenwood City’s Seventh Street last Tuesday evening. The 24,000 square foot steel storage building is part of the company’s chipping and wood drying facility that chips wood logs into material for animal bedding and other products. The facility is located just west of the Glenwood City Schools complex. The Glenwood City Fire Department was called to the facility shortly after seven Tuesday evening, January 13 and the first arriving company could see that the piles of wood chips were on fire. One firefighter described the fire as charcoal in an outside grill glowing red hot. Heavy smoke and cold weather hampered firefighting activities. The MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System) went into effect and that brought more nearly 90 firefighters and EMS personnel and several pieces of fire fighting equipment from 17 area fire departments. It took several hours before firefighters were able to drown the flames and clear smoke out before they could enter the building. Firefighters had to remove some of the steel siding from the west side of the building to get at hot spots. Glenwood City fire chief Greg Holden reported that firefighters and equipment from Boyceville, United Fire (Woodville, Baldwin and Hammond), New Richmond, Menomonie, Clear Lake, Elmwood, Spring Valley, Elk Mound, Colfax, Roberts, Hudson, and Deer Park helped the Glenwood City Fire Department battle the blaze. Aerials units from Baldwin and Menomonie were also called to assist while engines from Glenwood City, United Fire and Boyceville were used to supply water to firefighters. Many of the other fire departments provided tenders (water) trucks. EMS units from Glenwood City, Baldwin, and Boyceville and the St. Croix County Mobile Communication’s vehicle were also called to the scene. Glenwood City Police assisted with security and traffic control. Fire officials were concerned that the need for water for fighting the fire might overload the Glenwood City’s water utility so water was trucked to the scene in tank trucks. Fortunately, the amount of water that was used did not overload the city’s system and it was reported that the utility had plenty of water in its storage facility. Chief Holden said that there were no injuries reported during the seven hours that firefighters spent on the scene. John Logghe, owner of the company, stated that approximately 100 tons of chipped wood were lost to the fire. Logghe hoped that the firm could be up a running again by the weekend. Bonding Could Total $9.24 Million Fire Please see pg 2 HEAVY SMOKE poured from the Misty Meadow Wood Products’ chipped wood/sawdust storage building on Glenwood City’s Seventh Street early Tuesday evening, January 13 as nearly 100 firefighters from 17 area departments battled the fire for seven hours despite the thick smoke and single-digit temperatures. Owner John Logghe estimated that nearly 100 tons of sawdust were destroyed in the fire which caused severe damage to the structure. But Misty Meadows was back in operation by the weekend. —photo by Shawn DeWitt School Board approves language for upcoming referendum By Kelsie Hoitomt GLENWOOD CITY — The Board of Education held a special meeting Monday night in regards to a referendum election on April 7. Board members Judy Achterhof, John Logghe, Lori Klinger, Lisa Kaiser, Jon Mrdutt and Charlotte Obermueller-Stout voted unanimously “yes” to pass two resolutions in regards to the referendum. These two resolutions will be on the ballot in April. Voters will have the option to vote yes for both resolutions, vote yes for only one or to vote no for all the above. Resolution number one that was approved was the initial resolution authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $4,740,000. The money is to go towards the upgrading of the HVAC system (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) in the elementary, roof replacement in the elementary, moving of both offices to the front entrances in regards to safety, fire alarm replacement, elementary traffic flow improvement, exterior lighting and technology upgrades. This resolution if approved will have no additional amount levied so there will not be an increase on taxes. Resolution number two that was approved was the initial resolution authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed $4,500,000. This money would cover the cost of upgrading the HVAC system throughout the Middle School and High School. The system upgrade is crucial in the fact that there are some serious air quality and energy efficiency issues that currently raise a problem in the school. If voted yes, that resolution would not have an impact on the mill rate either. And to put that all together as one, the Board approved the resolution providing for a referendum election on the questions of approval of two initial resolutions, authorizing issuance of General Obligation Bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $9,240,000. If this option is voted upon and both resolutions are put together for that nearly $10 million dollar bond, that would raise the mill rate, however the estimated raise is less than one dollar to the tax payers. There were other items approved at the meeting as well. One was the approval of posting for two administrative assistant positions. The other approval was to raise the hourly wage stipend up $2 for the executive administrative assistant position. The Personnel and Negotiations committee did meet before the meeting and retirement was discussed. It was stated that there was no resolution made at the meeting and further discussions will need to be had in order to find a retirement plan that the Board agrees on completely. That means that currently there is no retirement plan in place for those staff members who would like to retire at the end of this school year. They would only have access to their state retirement. It was also stated in last week’s article that at the December 8 meeting, there were all yes votes on the retirement proposal, but in correction, Charlotte Obermueller-Stout did vote no. Village of Wheeler water tower suffers ‘crash’ in cold weather GARAGE DESTROYED — Glenwood City firefighters worked to extinguish a fire that destroyed a garage and its contents late Thursday morning, Jnauary 15 in Hersey. The garage was owned by John Hanson. A snowmobile that Hanson was working on along with his pickup truck where also destroyed in the fire. Hanson’s house, which can been seen in the right side of the photo, was not damaged thanks in part to the metal siding on the garage that helped to contain the blaze. Baldwin EMS and United Fire assisted at the scene. —photo by Shawn DeWitt 765551 • 1-15-15 By LeAnn R. Ralph W H E E L E R — Wi t h t h e electricity off in the early-morning hours January 12 — and with outside air temperatures hovering around 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit or a little colder in some areas — several Wheeler residents were awakened by a loud crash. “It was so loud, I thought the water tower was coming down,” said Marge Carter, wife of James Carter, village president. The loud crash involving the water tower was a subject for discussion prior to the Wheeler Village Board’s January 13 meeting. The Carters live right next to the water tower in Wheeler. Although no one knew for sure what had happened, Jim Carter speculated that with the electricity off, water had drained out of the tower but had not been replaced, and because it was so cold outside, ice had formed on the interior of the water tower, and the ice had let go and fell to the bottom of the tower. Both Jim and Marge said that the water tower makes quite a lot of noise in freezing weather. “It sounds like a lake when the lake is freezing over,” Marge Carter said. Robin Goodell, village clerktreasurer, said that when the weather was warmer toward the coming weekend, Chris Goodell, w a t e r o p e r a t o r, a l o n g w i t h someone to assist him, would take a closer look at the tower to see if there was any damage. W h e e l e r Vi l l a g e B o a r d members noted the electricity was off several hours early that morning, and it did not take long for the temperature to plunge inside their homes. Natural gas During the regular Wheeler Village Board meeting, Linda Crosby, village trustee, wondered why Wheeler does not have natural gas lines to provide “city gas” to village residents. Crosby noted several people have asked her that question and have said they would like to have natural gas because the cost is cheaper than liquid propane. Village President Carter said he has been asked that question several times as well. The village has never been offered natural gas as an option, he said. All of the furnace fittings in the village would have to be changed to accommodate natural gas, Carter said, adding that gas lines would also have to be dug in around the village. “It would be a mess,” Crosby said. “We’d have to be torn up like we were when water and sewer was put in.” Goodell said she would call around the next day to find out who to contact about natural gas. “If we were going to consider this, we would need to have a town meeting,” Crosby said. The natural gas company also would have to attend the meeting to explain what the process would involve, noted Marlene Larson, village trustee. NORTHTOWN FORD WILL NOT BE BEAT I W , e i n o Menom ON NEW FORD CARS, TRUCKS & SUVS! www.northtownford.com Page 2 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Two-vehicle crash claims life of Woodville woman Boyceville Ambulance gets $90,000 in grants for equipment B O Y C E V I L L E — Representatives from area municipalities that form the Boyceville Ambulance District learned that the service has received $90,000 in grants recently. This information was released at the regular monthly meeting of the District on January 14th. Matt Feeney, EMS Chief, informed the meeting that the grants included a $60,000 Otto Bremer Foundation grant for the purchased of two heart monitors. Feeney had one of those monitors at the meeting and demonstrated the unit to members. Feeney stated, “We are veryvery fortunate to have this equipment,” which he called the top of the line. He noted that the new heart monitor was put into service last week following training with members of the ambulance crew. He also spoke about the new power lift cot that they received. “It can lift 750 pounds,” Feeney said. Feeney addressed the progress with the construction of their new quarters. He indicated that he had hoped to be in the new quarters by the first of the year, but noted the set backs they have had with the construction. He indicated that they could be in the new building by next month. In another matter, Village President, Gib Krueger questioned the finances and noted that the operating account was almost $27,000 in the negative, but he noted that the building fund still had a $65,000 balance, plus a $10,000 CD. Fire Department Fire Chief Brian Marlette reported on the activities of the fire department for the past year and indicated that the department had the highest number of runs in many years. His report indicated the department was called out 89 times in 2014. Of that number, 15 were mutual aid calls. They responded to assist the Menomonie Department six time; Glenwood City, four times; two times each to Elk Mound and Prairie Farm and one run to help the Sand Creek Fire Department The members of the fire district talked about the installation of dry hydrants in the townships of New Haven and Tiffany. But there was some question about the county not allowing anything attached to bridges. The group will explore this idea more. As for the finances of the fire department, the report showed that there was a balance at the end of the year of $154,634.57 plus a CD in the amount of $100,000. The next meeting of the group will be on Wednesday, February 11 at the Boyceville Village Hall. DNR recommends study of industrial frac sand mining By LeAnn R. Ralph C O L FA X — T h e s t a t e Department of Natural Resources has recommended moving forward with a detailed study of industrial frac sand mining to determine the impact of mining on human health and on the environment. The DNR made the recommendation on January 12 as the result of a petition signed by more than 1,000 West Central Wisconsin residents submitted to the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board last fall. Midwest Environmental Advocates drafted the 29-page document, “Petition for a Strategic Analysis of Frac Sand Mining,” which contains a number of technical references and citations and argues that the state Department of Natural Resources must gather and use scientific information to adequately regulate the frac sand industry to protect the health, safety and welfare of Wisconsin residents. Representatives of MEA presented the petition in September to a group of about 60 people who gathered at the Howard Town Hall. The Natural Resources Board asked DNR staff to respond to the petition in October. Five years ago, a handful of frac sand mines were operating in this area of the state, but the number has now increased to over one hundred sand mines and may be closer to 150. One company is proposing to develop a 2,000 acre sand mine in the Town of Howard, and another 800 acres is reportedly under contract, or is under consideration for contract, in the Town of Colfax, according to information given to the Dunn County Planning, Resources and Development committee at the committee’s January 13 meeting.

At Newsstand ......................................$100 will be meeting January 23 to further consider the proposal to do a strategic analysis of frac sand mining. The Chippewa County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution at the January 13 meeting to support the strategic analysis of frac sand mining. The Dunn County Planning, Resources and Development committee approved at their January 13 meeting forwarding a similar resolution to the Dunn County Board for consideration at the county board’s meeting January 21. According to the petition asking for a strategic analysis of sand mining, metallic and nonmetallic mining can cause acid mine drainage by exposing large surface areas of sulfide rock to air and water. The petition states that Roman mine sites in Great Britain continue to generate acid drainage 2,000 years later. “This is an important step forward for our state’s environmental protection agency to provide a comprehensive study of the frac sand industry so that citizens can have an in-depth look at the facts on silica sand mining and our environmental protection needs,” said MEA Executive Director Kimberlee Wright in a news release issued about the DNR’s recommendation. Midwest Environmental Advocates is urging residents in this part of the state to send comments to the Natural Resources Board thanking the DNR for responding to the citizen petition and for recommending that the DNR do a strategic analysis of sand mining. Comments can be e-mailed to [email protected] by 11 a.m. January 23 to be included in the report for the Natural Resources Board meeting. Fire Continued from page 1 The fire at Misty Meadows was just one day short of the first anniversary of the fire that destroyed Glenhaven’s new facility that was under construction. That facility is currently being rebuilt and is planned to open sometime in mid-April of this year. The Misty Meadows facility is located about four blocks southeast of the Glenhaven Care facility. Heavy smoke from the fire drifted northwest toward Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Glenhaven, and residences in the six hundred blocks of Oak, Pine and Maple Streets. Glenhaven administration monitored the situation after staff reported a slight smell of smoke but no evacuation was needed and residents were never in danger. The cause of the fire is still undetermined. A video of the fire can be viewed online at www.dewitt media.com HONOR BY FIRE DEPARTMENT — Fire Captain Jeff Kuehl, left, was presented with a plaque honoring him for having the highest logged duty hours with the Glenwood City Fire Department in 2014.

Treatment Court is an intensive court program designed to assist with individualized recovery to break the cycle of addiction and crime. These funds will be used to continue efforts to enhance integrated treatment of substance abuse and mental health services for successful rehabilitation of Treatment Court participants. Treatment Court goals are to improve community safety, reduce crime, address specific participant needs, and help foster a sober, crime-free, healthy lifestyle. The grant will be used to fund an Integrated Treatment Specialist, with expertise in substance abuse and mental health, to support participant engagement in treatment, reduce mental health symptoms, develop an enhanced awareness of recovery, and provide evidence-based services to improve successful outcomes. Dunn County Circuit Court Judge Rod Smeltzer, one of two judges that preside over Treatment Court, says “early on in the development of Treatment Court we have taken the position that often folks dealing with addictive behaviors, whether that be meth, alcohol, prescription drugs or other substances, often have mental health concerns that have to be balanced for successful treatment. If not for this grant, our resources to address these needs would be limited.” County Board Chairman, Steve Rasmussen added “more generally, the mission of the CJCC is for all stakeholders of the justice system to collaborate with the goal of a more effective, efficient system to reduce recidivism resulting in greater public safety.” Treatment Court is one example of how Dunn County is working together to be smart on crime to reach these goals with effective justice strategies.

TOWN OF ERIN PRAIRIE — A Woodville woman became St. Croix County’s first traffic fatality of the 2015 when the vehicle she was driving was struck by a truck at the intersection of County Roads G and T in the Town of Erin Prairie. 54-year-old Deborah Merlin Bugni of Woodville died at the scene of the accident which happened at 7:26 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13. This intersection has been the site of several accidents over the years. According to a report from the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Office, Cody A. Stephenson, 27, of Lonsdale, MN was operating a 2003 Ford truck that was northbound on County Highway T when he failed to stop at the stop sign for northbound traffic on County Road T and entered the intersection where he collided with Deborah Merlin Bugni’s 2000 Cadillac Eldorado that was traveling east along County Road G. Deborah Merlin Bugni, who was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Croix County Medial Examiner’s Office. Stephenson was transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN with non-life threatening injuries. The news release did not state whether Stephenson had been belted when the accident occurred. The Sheriff ’s Office’s release noted that there was evidence of alcohol use by Cody Stephenson and that it may have been a possible factor that contributed to the crash. New Richmond Fire and Ambulance Services, the New Richmond and Hammond Police Departments and the St. Croix County Medical Examiner’s Office all assisted at the scene and in the crash investigation which is still ongoing at this time. Woman dies in Dunn County crash TOWN OF SHERIDAN — A Clear Lake woman died Thursday morning, January 15 when the vehicle she was driving left the roadway, rolled and struck a tree along State Highway 64 in the Town of Sheridan. 50-year-old Jodi Voght was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident which occurred around 8:20 am January 15 on State Highway 64 just west of 350th Street in Dunn County. The Dunn County emergency 9-1-1 Center received a report of a motor vehicle crash on STH 64 at 8:28 a.m. that morning.

MISTY MEADOWS WOOD PRODUCTS 20c* Tiffany Creek Elementary students enjoy free books through Book Trust Grant By Kelsie Hoitomt BOYCEVILLE — Since September of 2014, Early Childhood through Third Grade s t u d e n t s a t Ti f f a n y C r e e k Elementary have been receiving $7 worth of free books from the Scholastic Reading Club catalog each month via the Book Trust. Book Trust is connected to t h e Wi s c o n s i n Te c h n o l o g y Initiative (WTI) grant that the school received for smartboards, document cameras and other technologies. The grant via Book Trust runs for one school year so students in those grades will receive books through May. The way it works is each student receives a Scholastic catalog like they would usually, but now they are able to go through and pick out $7 worth of free books. The books are theirs to keep and take home. This could either be one book or 2-3, depending on the price and Glenwood City DECA bringing six students to state By Kelsie Hoitomt MENOMONIE — 13 Glenwood City High School students participated in the DECA Districts’ competition held in Menomonie at the University of Wisconsin-Stout on Saturday, January 10. There were 660 students all together with 23 events possible to be participated in. Only the top two advance to State, which means out of 660 DECA members, only 46 move on. Each DECA chapter is however allowed to take additional students in a project. Role Play qualifiers advance on from Districts, but the projects are not judged until State. The Glenwood City DECA program continued to show outstanding results despite that slim figure considering they will be bringing six out of their 13 competitors to State. Nick Schone went to State last year and he will be making another trip after he placed first in the Accounting Applications event. Jake Hennessy is making another appearance as well after placing second in the Automotive Services Marketing event. Jake made it beyond State last year and looks to make a repeat trip to the International competition.

When a school is eligible for the program, all students within a participating class receive books. TCE was one of five schools selected for the grant this year. The Book Trust was established in 2001 and currently serves over 36,000 students in 15 states. To date, the Book Trust has put over 3.5 million book in the hands and homes of kids in need. According to the Book Trust, studies prove that book choice and ownership are fundamental in promoting literacy. Children who are free to choose what to read are more likely to read and the number of books in a home has the same impact on a child’s level of educational attainment as parental education levels.

Through DECA, you make connections with business leaders, colleges, and other students from across the country. It challenges you to be your best while thinking outside the box to solve real world problems. DECA not only introduces you to how to be a professional, but it is fun, challenging, and rewarding all at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for a better club to be a part of and am grateful to have this wonderful opportunity,” said Kaylie Scalze. DECA is a way for students to put their knowledge into action through rigorous project-based activities that require creative solutions with practical outcome. The activities provide authentic, experimental learning methods to prepare students for college and careers. DECA partners with businesses at local and broader levels and those individuals provide students with a realistic insight into industry, which promotes meaningful and relevant learning.

Page 4 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, January 21, 2015 OFF THE EDITOR'S DESK DAYS OF OLD WATCH FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES I must relate a concern of mine and that is: as drivers on the public roads, we must give emergency vehicles the right of way so they can get to their calls in a timely manner. To make the roads a safer place for all, it is our responsibilty to be aware of what is going on around us. At point is that last week, I, as a member of the local fire department, was responding to an alarm in Hersey. I was in the front seat of the engine company with red lights and siren working. But, only one vehicle of the dozen or so that we met on our run, even made any attempt to pull over to the side of the highway. One fellow who was in front of us, pulling a cattle trailer, apparently did not hear the siren and made no attempt to pull off the road, even as the big yellow fire engine passed him, he continued without any idea that he should yield the right of way. Luckily, we made it to the scene of the fire without an incident. The law requires us to pull into the other lane when a traffic police have a stop. But I have been on the Interstate and noticed many times that people do not give police officers any space and just zoom on by. And, don’t forget the flashing red lights of the school bus when it has stopped to pick up children. While on the matter of vehicles, another concern is that of pedestrians attempting to cross a busy street and vehicles not stopping to allow them to cross the road. I have seen this happen many times in Colfax with the busy highway 40 that cuts through the community. Stop and let the people cross the road. It may save a life! Be aware of your surroundings!

New St. Croix County recycling specialist continues duties by Megen Hines Hello! My name is Megen Hines and I am the new Recycling Specialist in St. Croix County. I’ve been on the job since October in helping the recycling program transition but have recently fully taken over the duties of the position. I grew up in rural Pierce County and currently live with my husband and son in Eau Claire. I’ve earned bachelor’s degrees in Meteorology from St. Cloud State University and in Environmental Science from UW-Stout. While I’ve always been an avid recycler, my motivation to work in recycling as a career came from an internship with Dunn County Solid Waste during college. This internship provided me indepth knowledge of the state’s recycling laws, allowed me to develop and implement a recycling education program and meet a lot of professionals within the industry. My other professional work comes from researching wetlands and water quality in the Chippewa Moraine State Recreational Area while employed at UW-Stout. My goal is to help continue the great recycling tradition in St. Croix County and provide convenient opportunities for residents and businesses to recycle a variety of items. I look forward to meeting and working with local residents, businesses, civic organization and municipal officials that have helped create the excellent recycling culture in St. Croix County. I am available to speak about recycling for school groups, meetings, youth groups or any other gathering. Please feel free to contact me at 715-531-1907 or email me at megen.hines@ co.saint-croix.wi.us.

In the last legislative session, we were successful in making significant progress in again reducing property taxes for homeowners and small businesses. As I travel the district and hear from area residents, property taxes continue to be the most frustrating and burdensome issue for seniors, working families, and small businesses. Due to the State Legislature’s efforts to invest in property tax relief last session, Wisconsin property owners received a welcome reduction in their recent property tax bills. While the experiences of individual property taxpayers may vary due to changes in property assessments or local factors, such as approved referendums, the owner of a median-valued home in Wisconsin is expected to see a $100 drop in their 2014 tax bill. This property tax reduction is the result of over $400 million in surplus revenue that the State Legislature and Governor committed to buying down the technical college levy as part of last spring’s tax relief measure. I have long supported efforts to reduce the impact of technical colleges on our property tax bills, including authoring legislation in prior sessions that would shift greater responsibility for technical college funding to the state. Given my position on this issue, I was pleased to work with my colleagues to enact this property tax relief. In our area, it is estimated that a typical homeowner in the Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College District will see $124 in savings, while a typical homeowner in the Chippewa Valley Technical College District will see $115 in savings. Over $45 million in state revenues were committed to reducing the property taxes levied by these two technical college districts alone. This property tax relief built upon our previous work to hold the line on property taxes, which has resulted in a lower property tax bill in 2014 than in 2010 for the owner of a median-valued home in our state. By comparison, under the prior administration, property taxes rose $230 on the same median-valued home between 2006 and 2010. If the trend of property tax increases seen during the 2006-2010 timeframe was maintained, property taxes on a typical homeowner would be nearly $400 higher than they are today. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to hold the line on property taxes and find ways to bring further relief to taxpayers.

Ralph MENOMONIE — A Dunn County judge has found probable cause in two cases related to an arson involving a house in Colfax, attempted murder and recklessly endangering safety. Following a preliminary hearing January 15, Judge Rod Smeltzer found probable cause and bound over for trial the defendant, Beth Mittelstadt, 44. Judge Smeltzer set an arraignment hearing for Mittelstadt February 3. Mittelstadt, who appeared in court with her attorney, Dan Chapman, is charged with one felony count of arson related to a fire at 511 East Third Avenue in Colfax last May. She also is charged with one felony count of first degree attempted murder and two felony counts of first degree recklessly endangering safety related to an incident in December during which Mittelstadt allegedly threatened Colfax Police Chief Bill Anderson with a machete. Police Chief Anderson drew his duty weapon and shot Mittelstadt one time in the upper torso. Matt Feeney, an investigator with the Dunn County Sheriff ’s Department, testified at the preliminary hearing that the fire which started the evening of May 24, 2014, in the house on Third Avenue where Katie Bundy and her children lived had started in the bedroom between the bed and the dresser. No one was home at the time of the fire. Mittelstadt told Feeney she had gone to Bundy’s house to buy methamphetamine and had given Bundy $40 or $50 for the meth. Mittelstadt said she had tried to call Bundy numerous times that evening, but Bundy did not come back with the methamphetamine. Feeney said Mittelstadt told him she had been upset by Bundy’s absence, that she broke some things in the house and that she had hit a window with her fist. Chapman asked if Feeney, who is the sheriff department’s fire investigator, knew what had started the fire. Feeney said that although they could tell where the fire had started, there was no way to tell what had started the fire. Chapman asked if it was possible something had fallen to the floor, such as a candle. Feeney noted there was no one home at the time, so nothing should have been burning to fall to the floor. Shooting D e a n F a y e r w e a t h e r, a n investigator with the St. Croix County Sheriff ’s Department, testified that he had been one of the officers assigned to investigate the officer-involved shooting in Colfax on December 18. Colfax Police Chief Bill Anderson had told Fayerweather Mittelstadt had come at him with a machete and that Police Chief Anderson had drawn his service weapon and had shot Mittelstadt to stop the threat, Investigator Fayerweather said. Investigator Fayerweather described the machete as being two feet long with a large blade, a short handle, and of the type “used to chop brush.” Dunn County Sergeant Todd Kurtzhals, who had used his Taser on Mittelstadt three times while trying to take her into custody, told Fayerweather Mittelstadt had thrown the machete at him, and he believed his safety was endangered. Sergeant Kurtzhals said if he had not had a Taser, he would have shot Mittelstadt with his service weapon because “the threat was there,” Investigator Fayerweather testified. Investigator Fayerweather also testified he had found holes in the walls in the bedroom where Mittelstadt had allegedly stabbed the walls with the machete and that the inside doorknob had been “chopped off” when Mittelstadt swung the machete at Police Chief Anderson. The entrance wound for the bullet was in Mittelstadt’s left breast, and medical staff made an incision in her right breast to remove the bullet, Investigator Fayerweather testified. Sergeant Kurtzhals had told Fayerweather that Mittelstadt had been down on the floor when he arrived. Mittelstadt still had the machete in her hand and had raised herself up on one arm and threw the machete with her other hand. Sergeant Kurtzhals said his use of the Taser and Mittelstadt’s throwing of the machete occurred simultaneously, Investigator Fayerweather said. Judge Smeltzer found probable cause in both the arson case and the case of attempted murder and recklessly endangering safety and set an arraignment hearing for Mittelstadt at 3:45 p.m. February 3. Mittelstadt remains in custody on a $10,000 cash bail set in the arson case. Mittelstadt also faces a misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer.

Ralph C O L FA X — T h e o t h e r occupant of an apartment at 601 ½ Main Street in Colfax where an officer-involved shooting occurred December 18 has been charged with felony possession of methamphetamine. Dennis K. Mittelstadt, 47, made an initial appearance in Dunn County Circuit Court January 13. In addition to felony possession of methamphetamine, Mittelstadt is charged with misdemeanor counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and bail jumping. Mittelstadt was charged in connection with the incident in which 44-year-old Beth Mittelstadt was shot by Colfax Police Chief Bill Anderson when she came at him with a machete. The afternoon of December 18, officers obtained a search warrant for the apartment and discovered the methamphetamine and the drug paraphernalia. In the past, Dennis Mittelstadt had been charged with obstructing an officer in connection with an incident that occurred in September of 2013. At the time, Mittelstadt lived in Boyceville. Judge William Stewart approved a deferred prosecution agreement in that case in November of 2013. Mittelstadt appeared in Dunn County Circuit Court December 1, 2014, in connection with the deferred prosecution agreement. Assistant District Attorney Andrew Maki told the court that Mittelstadt had not yet completed his community service, and Judge Rod Smeltzer granted an additional 90 days for Mittelstadt to complete the community service. The misdemeanor bail jumping charge is connected to Mittelstadt’s failure to fulfill the deferred prosecution agreement from the previous case of obstructing an officer. In the methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia case, Judge Smeltzer set bail with a $1,000 signature bond December 19. Mittelstadt’s next court hearing is scheduled for April 7. Post #330 Downtown Wilson, WI 715-772-4266 Thursdays at 7 p.m. Meat Raffles held every Saturday at 2:30 p.m. 8tfc* New testing explained to Boyceville School Board BOYCEVILLE — The school board listened to a report from Middle/High School Principal Steve Glocke about the new student testing called “ACT Aspire.” He presented a slide show of how students in the high school compare to the National Average in five different classes. The new testing will allow the school to see where students are, either at or above the benchmark and those who are close to it and those who need support. Glocke told the board that freshmen will have to take the test twice in their first year of high school, once in the fall and then again in the spring. Sophomores will be required to take the test in the spring. He noted that on March 3rd every junior in the state will be taking the test, and on March 4th they will take a “Work Key test.” Glocke also informed the board that the WIAA Regional Wrestling Tournament will be held in Boyceville on February 14. Elementary Principal Nick Kaiser told the board that they have started on the 2015-16 school calendar. He also noted that the students have started a school store. “Mostly, with school supply items,” he said. Kaiser said that the band “Reverse Order” would perform at the school on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. with a theme addressing the issue of bullying. He invited anyone interested to attend. Kaiser also noted that the past week was National Crossing Guard Week and that the guards were invited into the school for coffee last week. His report indicated that the crossing guards are: Ray Cherney, Dennis Minter, Vicki Johnson, Alicia and Bruce Skinner, and Doug and Shari Hellendrung. District Superintendent Kevin Sipple addressed the board about the two days that there was no school because of bad weather. He noted that school policy states that the school will have make-up days on the second and fourth and beyond. Sipple told the board that the first make up day would be Friday, June 5th. Sipple noted to the board that the Dunn-St. Croix Conference Superintendents met and approved allowing St. Croix Central to leave the conference and have Durand come in. WIAA will need to approve the change, he said. Sipple also addressed the work of lawmakers in Madison. In his report, Sipple said, “State Superintendent Dr. Tony Evers and Dr. Michael Thompson provided updates on Federal and State initiatives at our CESA 11 meeting last week. They encouraged anyone who is supportive of public education to be very aware of legislative work.” Sipple continued, “We need to keep an eye on what is going on down there at Madison.” B o n n i e B a k e r, D i r e c t o r of Special Education/School Psychologist reported to the school board saying, “that C. Kristen Henningfeld, Suzanne Carlson and Nancy Anderson completed training so that they could administer the Dynamic Learning Maps to several of our cognitively impaired students.” She also touched on the Civil Rights Data Collection survey noting that the survey is a federal data survey, which is mandatory for all public school/local education agencies in the United States. Baker noted that the survey was done once every ten years but now it will be annually. “We are doing a term approach with our students,” she told the board. In other action the board approved the retirement request from Science Teacher Steward Skrove. Board President Gail Stark praised him for his 29 years with the Boyceville School District. The board also accepted three grants. One from the Ann Marie Foundation for $1,900 for the Wright Group Reading Intervention program at the Elementary school, and other from Ann Marie for $838 to be used for noise blocking headphones and a Carl Perkins Mini-Grant for $1,905 for Virtual Business Management Software for the accounting class. 92,398 people in WI selected 2015 Marketplace plans in the first month of open enrollment According to a report released on December 30 by the Department of Health and Human Services, 92,398 people in Wisconsin selected plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace leading up to the December 15 deadline for coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2015. About 90 percent of Wisconsinites who selected health insurance plans in the first month of open enrollment were determined eligible for financial assistance to lower their monthly premiums, compared to 88 percent who selected plans over a similar period last year. Of the 92,398 Wisconsinites who selected a plan, 58 percent reenrolled in a Marketplace plan in 2015 and 42 percent signed up for the first time. The December 30 report provides the first detailed analysis of enrollment in the Marketplaces for the first month of the 2015 open enrollment period. Because the automatic reenrollment process for the 37 states using the HealthCare.gov platform (including Wisconsin) began on December 16 and was completed for the vast majority of consumers on December 18, the December 30 report with data through December 15 does not fully capture the number of people who selected plans leading up to the deadline for Jan. 1, 2015 coverage. “ We ’ r e p l e a s e d t h a t i n Wisconsin 92,398 people signed up for Marketplace coverage during the first month of open enrollment. The vast majority were able to lower their costs even further by getting tax credits, making a difference in the bottom lines of so many families,” HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said. “Interest in the Marketplace has been strong during the first month of open enrollment. We still have a ways to go and a lot of work to do before February 15, but this is an encouraging start.” Nationwide, more than 4 million people signed up for the first time or reenrolled in coverage for 2015 during the first month of open enrollment. That includes more than 3.4 million people who selected a plan in the 37 states that are using the HealthCare. gov platform for 2015 (including Wisc on sin ), a nd m ore t ha n 600,000 consumers who selected plans in the 14 states that are operating their own Marketplace platform for 2015. HHS also released a Weekly Enrollment Snapshot that captures more recent enrollment activity in the Marketplace. The Weekly Snapshot shows that from November 15 to December 26, nearly 6.5 million consumers selected a plan or were automatically reenrolled.

The 36 X 80 foot barn was a replacement for a barn that was destroyed by a tornado. The picture above is of the construction of the barn. Jim noted that the farm will becoming a century farm very soon with his family having farmed it for a hundred years. But what is the interesting part of the barn is that the lumber that was used in the building of the new barn has ties to people who worked during the lumber days of Glenwood City. In our December 31st issue we carried a front-page St. Croix County offering free radon test kits In an effort to get more homes tested, St. Croix County Public Health Department is offering a free short term radon test kit to owners of St. Croix County homes that have never been tested before. The free test kit is available to the homeowner who comes to a St. Croix County office to pick up the kit. There will be an informational form to fill out identifying the home that has not been tested. If you are retesting your St. Croix County home, a short term radon test kit can be purchased for $5.00. These offers are good until February 28, 2015. Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible, odorless gas that is harmlessly dispersed in outdoor air, but when trapped in buildings, can be harmful at elevated levels. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reported that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and that it is a serious public health problem. The NAS concluded that radon causes between 15,000 and 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year, about one third of them preventable. Testing homes for elevated levels of radon is simple and inexpensive. If discovered, radon problems can Project expected to be a catalyst to city’s downtown redevelopment plans $500,000 State Grant Will Help Expand Food Co-op in Menomonie MADISON – The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) has awarded a $500,000 grant to the City of Menomonie to help expand a downtown food market—a project expected to create new jobs and play a key role in the redevelopment of downtown. The Community Development Investment Grant will fill the remaining gap in the $3.9 million expansion and relocation project that will more than quadruple the retail space at the Menomonie Market Food Co-op. The project will create 25 new jobs at the city’s only downtown grocery store. “A strong downtown is vital to the overall economic health of a community, and the Community Development Investment Grant Program is helping communities all over the state revitalize their business districts,” said Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, who announced the grant at the Dunn County Economic Development Corporation’s annual banquet. “Not only will this grant directly benefit those who live and work in the area, but a vibrant downtown will help other Dunn County businesses recruit and retain quality employees.” “The City of Menomonie is pleased to have the support of the WEDC grant for the Menomonie Market Food Co-op and Farmer’s Market projects,” said Mayor Randy Knaack. “The impact this will have on our community is great by supporting a community need, creating jobs and improving our tax base. This improvement will initiate an economic development reaction that will affect multiple businesses within the area in a positive way, continuing the positive growth in our community.” Crystal Halvorson, general manager of the Menomonie Market Food Co-op, added: “We are thrilled to learn that the City of Menomonie has been awarded this grant. For Menomonie Market, it means we can build the grocery store that our owners need, and be ready to do even more work to meet our goals of a thriving, healthy community as soon as we are open. Restoring the farmer’s market to our downtown and building a permanent structure that can accommodate all sorts of functions is a great way for the city to invest in our community.” WEDC’s Community Development Investment Grant Program supports community development and redevelopment efforts—primarily in downtown areas—throughout the state. Since its inception in 2013, the program has provided more than $5.8 million in grants to 39 communities. The City of Menomonie is one of seven communities awarded a grant out of 32 applications received from the throughout the state in this round of funding. Communities were selected based on the ability to demonstrate the economic impact of the proposed project, including public and private partnership development, financial need, and use of sustainable downtown development practices. WEDC will hold two additional competitions for funding this year with application deadlines of Jan. 30 and April 17. “Since its inception, WEDC’s Community Development Investment Grant Program has provided $6.7 million in funding to 38 communities in every part of the state,” said Reed Hall, secretary and CEO of WEDC, the story, which was a letter written by Fred Raffelson in 1966. Fred lived as a youngster in Glenwood during the lumber years and his letter was about that time. In one part of the letter he relates that as the timber was exhausted here, the equipment of the Glenwood Manufacturing Company was moved to Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho. He told about those people from Glenwood that accompanied that move and then those that moved on to Everett, Washington to work in lumber business there. Well, the rest of the story is: that the lumber to build the new barn on the McNamara farm came from Everett, Washington where those workers from Glenwood had settled. Jim stated that the cost of the materials was $900. state’s lead economic development agency. “We are pleased to assist Menomonie with a project that will pay dividends for the entire community.” Menomonie Market Food Coop, which was established in 1973, has outgrown its current location and was having difficulty finding the space it needed to grow downtown. The state grant, along with $386,000 in funding provided by the city, will enable the co-op to demolish a building that is owned by Dunn County. A new 13,000-square-foot building will include a community classroom, expanded product lines, and a largely expanded deli serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. There will be more space for produce and meat, which will provide more opportunities for local food vendors to sell their product. As part of the project, Menomonie Farmers Market, which had been located nine blocks east of downtown, will be relocated to a permanent plaza near the co-op and an underused city park. The expanded Menomonie Market will be key to the redevelopment and continued economic development plan for downtown Menomonie and the surrounding area. The enhancements have already helped to initiate other developments, such as a $6 million mixed-use development, a $3 million drug store and a $2 million dental office complex. City and state officials say those developments will not only increase the tax base, but will make downtown more attractive to additional development. be fixed for costs similar to many common home repairs.

Page 6 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Lady Bulldogs down Cardinals to earn fifth straight conference win By Kelsie Hoitomt With the loss to the Cameron Comets on January 5, the Lady Bulldogs have won six out of their last seven games with the most recent against Turtle Lake last Friday. They also won their fifth straight conference game on Tuesday, January 13 at home against Spring Valley. 51-42 victory at home The Cardinals were dead last in the conference with their record at 0-8 after losing to the Lady Dogs. Despite that, they actually played completely in stride with the Bulldogs through two quarters. The score was tied in the first half after both teams posted ten points in the first quarter then 12 points in the second. Morgan Kuhn put up the first three for the Bulldogs. Cassie Malean also scored three points in the first by a double and a free UP AND IN- Brooklyn Hellmann scores one of two baskets here in the third quarter of the Bulldog’s winning game against Spring Valley. — photo by Kelsie Hoitomt throw. Lexi Peterson and Brooklyn Hellmann each had a double. Malean’s shots in the first warmed her up just enough that she went off on a tear in the second quarter. She was fouled to start and scored one basket. Then she drained a three and backed that up with a double. Peterson dropped a three in as well and Kuhn drove in a shot for two. Madysn Riek was fouled on a shot attempt and made one of her baskets. Jolene Bird was vocal from the sidelines about the girls moving their feet more and their response to the coach’s request resulted in a very well played third quarter. They posted 20 points against the Cardinal’s nine, which was the game changer that brought the Bulldogs their nine point victory. Riek has been a solid figure on the court throughout the season for the Bulldogs with her strong statue, but this was her breakout performance. She hit the foul shot in the second and then took real control of the ball in the third. She drained a triple and then a double before being fouled. She scored three out of three of her shots and then ended the quarter with another double. The other ten points came from two doubles by Hellmann, a jump shot from Shyanne Marlett, and baskets from Kuhn and Malean. The final eight minutes of the game had the Bulldogs scoring 11 points with Kuhn leading the court with five. She was covered by defenders, but took a step and drove up and in for the first basket of the quarter. She followed that up with a three, which gave the Bulldogs some cushion in their score as the Cardinals had brought their deficit down to four points. Riek scored a double and then Malean was fouled with 31 seconds left to play. She made both her shots for the Bulldogs final points of the game. The Cardinals tried to run the Bulldog boys upset Mondovi for first conference win By Kelsie Hoitomt The Boyceville boys basketball team earned their first DunnSt. Croix Conference “W” after upsetting the Mondovi Buffaloes 51-39 last Thursday, January 15. That win was just what they needed for a morale boost after losing to Turtle Lake two days before 40-38. After the Bulldogs’ game in Mondovi, they were on the road again Saturday with a trip to Elmwood that ended in a one point loss of 44-43 to the Elmwood/Plum City Wolves. Starting the week in TL The Bulldogs led for 24 minutes against the Lakeland-Central Lakers. They were ahead 9-7 after the first quarter, then 16-10 by the half and 28-18 going into the fourth. Their ten point lead changed when out of no where, it seemed, the Lakers went off on offense and scored 22 points to the Bulldogs’ ten. The Lakers offense scored four triples, four doubles and two free throws for their two point victory of 40-38. Scoring wise, the Bulldogs started off with four doubles in the first quarter by Hunter Anderson, Jake McIntyre and Brett Boda; Anderson also had a free throw. Then in the second quarter, Sam Hellmann had two doubles and a free throw and then Justin Schulz dropped one in for their seven points. Out of the half time break, Brady Schutts and Hellmann each drove in two buckets and Schulz and Anderson each had one for a total of 12 team points. The game ended with the Bulldogs scoring three doubles; two from Schulz and one free throw, one from Hellmann and then three free throws from Schutts. Hellmann led the team in points with 11 from his five doubles and one free throw. Then it was Schulz with nine from four doubles and one free throw. Schutts finished with six, Anderson had five, McIntyre had four and Boda had two. Buffaloes taste defeat The Bulldogs played a solid three quarters of basketball in Mondovi, but had one bad run in the second quarter. Thankfully, it happened in the middle of the game and not at the end so they were able to recover nicely and take the win. The first quarter of the game had the Bulldogs on top 16-10. The second quarter was a flop with just six points posted to the Buffaloes’ 12, which put the score at 22-22 going into the half. Schutts was hot on the court with three doubles and two free throws. McIntyre also started off strong with two doubles and two free throws of his own. Anderson also knocked in one double. In the second, it was a basket each from McIntyre, Mitch Leach and Schutts that gave the Bulldogs their six team points before the half. Out of the break, the score yoyo’d back into the Bulldog’s favor after Mondovi had their one bad quarter. The Bulldogs scored 13 points to Mondovi’s six for a 35-28 lead after the third. The Bulldogs were aggressive under the net with six shots pushed up and in for 12 points and then Schutts had a single free throw. The game ended with Leach finishing strong for his team with three out of four free throws scored along with three doubles. Schutts had one double as well and then McIntyre, Anderson and Boda scored free throws. Leach and Schutts shared the title of points leader for that game with 15 from both of them. Schutts had six doubles and was three for three from the line. Leach also had six doubles and was three for four from the line. McIntyre followed with ten from his three doubles and he was four out of five from the line. Anderson had two doubles and two free throws for six. Boda had one double and one free throw and Schulz had one double. Bitter one point loss The Bulldogs’ loss to the Wolves left a bitter taste in their mouth after being defeated by just one point 44-43. The Bulldogs attempted to redeem themselves with a game Tuesday night at home against Central. That was the first of a four game home stretch with Friday’s game against Spring Valley and then Saturday they will host Stanley-Boyd. Pin gives BV wrestlers 1-point win over EC North BOYCEVILLE — The power of the pin. Boyceville used it to claim a thrilling, come-from-behind, onepoint win over Eau Claire North in a non-conference home wrestling dual Tuesday, January 13. Trailing by five points heading into the final match of the evening, one that featured the Bulldogs’ state-ranked senior Austin Wolfe, Boyceville needed nothing less than a pin if it was to prevail. Eau Claire North had already won eight of the 14 matches so a tie would have given the Huskies the team victory on tie-breaking criteria (number of matches won). Boyceville needed a pin. And that is just what Wolfe delivered. It took him just 58 seconds to put Eau Claire North’s Efrain Sueldo on the mat for six points and a thrilling Boyceville victory, 31-30. The Bulldogs took the early advantage with wins in two of the first three matches. Boyceville sophomore James Palmer opened the dual with a close 2-0 decision over Tyler Deacon at 120 pounds. North tied the dual with a 7-5 win at 126. Tyler Stroo came through with the first of the Bulldogs’ three pins on the night as he stuck North’s Josh Schneider to give Boyceville a 9-3 lead. The Huskies, however, won the next four matches including one by fall and another by major decision to vault to 19-9 advantage. Garrett Joles would snap the North run with a much needed pin at 170 pounds. Logan McAbee-Thomas, making a return to the lineup for the first time since an injury sidelined him during the Northern Badger, won on a disqualification at 182 pounds. North’s Hunter Dahlby was leading 12-2 when a penalty was called and he was disqualified. It was a turn-ofevents that proved to be a key in the Bulldogs’ win and gave them a temporary 21-19 lead. North would score a major decision at 195 and a decision at 220 to take a 26-21 lead. Brandon Windsor would close the Boyceville deficit to one point with a 9-1 major decision over Jake Carruth at 285 pounds. But Mason Phillips of North turned the tables at 106 pounds and delivered a 13-5 major decision to up the Husky lead to 3025 with one match to go. That is when Wolfe stepped on the mat and needed less than a minute to give Boyceville an exciting 31-30 win via pin. The Bulldogs return to action this Thursday, January 22 after an eight-day break. Boyceville will host Mondovi in a conference dual at 7 p.m. The squad will then travel to St. Croix Falls on Saturday for an invitational meet. Glenwood City will come to town for the annual showdown on Thursday, January 29. ball down to their net, but Abbey Bird quickly snatched it away and held onto it until the buzzer rang. Malean and Riek tied in points scored with 13 each. Malean had three doubles, one triple and was four for six from the line. Riek had also had three doubles and one triple and she finished with four out of five free throws made. Kuhn followed with 12 points of her own from her three doubles and two triples. Hellmann had six from her three doubles. Peterson had five from one double and one triple and Marlett had her one double. Lakers pawed away There were more fouls called and free throws taken than normal shots in the Bulldogs game against Turtle Lake. Right from the start there was foul trouble with three calls against the Lakers that put Riek on the line for a total of five attempts. She made three baskets as well as a two-point shot for five out of Bulldogs’ 15 points in the first. The Bulldogs were in the same boat with unnecessary fouls called against them so early in the contest. The Lakers scored 13 points with four of them free throws; eight shots were attempted overall. The Bulldogs paced their way through the first half with shots from Marlett, Kuhn and Riek. Marlett had three doubles, Kuhn had a triple and one double and Riek had one double. Out of the half, the Bulldogs’ offense took a bit of a nose dive with just five points scored, which put them ahead by just four points after the third. The score was 33-29 going into the final eight minutes. The Bulldogs were able to hold the Lakers away from the basket except for two shots, which gave them four points overall. The Bulldogs themselves made six shots, which included three free throws from Malean, one free throw and one double from Riek and one double from Hellmann. The Bulldogs were seven for 18 from the free throw line with four out of ten shots made by Riek. She led the team in points with ten with three doubles also added. Hellmann and Marlett followed with eight each; Brooklyn drained two three’s and had one double and Shyanne had four doubles. Malean finished with seven points from her two doubles and three free throw. Kuhn had one double and one triple for five and Abbey Bird made one triple at the start of the game. Next on the schedule for the Boyceville girls is a road trip to Colfax this Thursday, January 22. They will then play at home on Saturday (Jan. 24) against Stanley-Boyd at 5:00 p.m. They are back at home Tuesday (Jan. 27) as well for a conference contest against the number two team, Elk Mound.

The Blackhawk hockey team may have just completed a stretch that fits that description and answered any questions there may have been about their resiliency. The week began with the Blackhawks traveling to Somerset and taking the ice for the first time after a lopsided loss to New Richmond. The Blackhawks needed to right the ship quickly and move forward. The game started with Somerset notching the first two goals of the game, the first a minute in, and it did not look good early for the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks generated pressure in the Somerset zone near the end of the first period, and that appeared to carry over. Coming out after the first intermission and facing a 2-0 deficit, the Blackhawks answered immediately when Mitchell Hurtgen scored at 0:23 with assists going to Landon Albrightson and Cole Stevens. The Spartans wasted little time, scoring the next two goals in less than three minutes, to stretch the lead to 4-1. Luke Meyer struck next, scoring at 5:37 with assists going to Gavin Hessler and Brandon Connett. The Spartans were then assessed a five-minute major penalty, followed by a minor penalty and the Hawks were skating 5-on-3. Albrightson scored to cut the deficit to 4-3. Assisting on the goal were Hurtgen and Connett. Late in the second period the Spartans scored an unassisted goal to make it 5-3 and the Blackhawks had their work cut out for them in the final frame. In the third, both teams exchanged pressure, and it appeared the goal-scoring flurry had ended, but that was only true for one team. At 7:38, Albrightson scored from Connett and Hurtgen making it a one-goal deficit once more. Twelve seconds later, a fresh line knotted the game at 5-5 with Mitchell Larson scoring, assisted by Gavin Hessler and Luke Meyer. The Blackhawks went on the power play shortly thereafter, and despite not connecting, the pressure created by the Hawks in the Somerset zone remained steady, and at 12:32, Brandon Connett scored with an assist t o Tu c k e r N a u s s , a n d t h e Blackhawks took their first lead of the game 6-5. After a Somerset timeout, and a 6-on-5 attack from the Spartans with an empty net, Hessler was able to put the icing on the cake 7-5 with the empty-netter at 16:36. Next up for the Blackhawks was the Siren Co-op, which is a Middle Border Conference matchup as well. After surrendering a goal a minute and a half into the game, the Blackhawks reeled off the next four goals, racing out to a 4-1 lead. Albrightson scored first to tie the game at 1-1, assisted by Hurtgen. Albrightson then struck again unassisted to take the lead 2-1. Larson made it 3-1 with an assist to Hessler, and then the power play unit led by Meyer made it 4-1 with assists being credited to Hessler and Larson. The Blizzard were able to notch one more goal in the first period, and it ended with the Blackhawks up 4-2. A minute and a half into the second period, Albrightson completed his hat trick making it 5-2 with assists to Hurtgen and Connett. The Blizzard then went on the attack scoring on the power play and then even-strength to make it 5-4 in favor of the Hawks. Late in the second, the Blackhawks were able to capitalize on the power play with Connett scoring assisted by Meyer. That lead was short-lived as the Blizzard answered thirteen seconds later, making it 6-5. For the second game in a row, the third period belonged to the Blackhawks. Hessler scored at 9:04 to make it 7-5 and was assisted by Connett and Meyer. Larson then closed out the scoring at 11:10 assisted by Hessler, and the Blackhawks moved to 4-3 in MBC action with the 8-5 victory. Rounding out the week, the Blackhawks traveled to West St. Paul to take on the Warriors of Sibley High School in a nonconference battle. The Warriors struck first and controlled the opening period, leading 2-0 after the first. At 10:56 of the second, Albrightson continued his torrid pace of late with a goal, making it 2-1. Meyer and Hessler assisted on the goal. After a Sibley score, making it 3-1, the Blackhawks answered with two of their own, tying the game at 3-3 after two periods of play. Albrightson netted the second goal with an assist to Connett, and then defenseman Leo Rasmussen scored on a laser from the point, assisted by Connett and Albrightson. The Blackhawks took their first lead of the game at 10:30 of the third when Meyer scored to make it 4-3. Assisting on the goal were Albrightson and Connett. Sibley answered two minutes later and the game was back to even with 4:11 to play. The Blackhawks wasted little time reclaiming the lead, when Hurtgen scored 25 seconds later, assisted by Nauss and Albrightson. Again the Blackhawks had to fend off the extra attacker, as Sibley pulled their goalie and the pressure was on in the Hawks’ zone. Albrightson was able to get the puck on his stick as time was winding down, and lofted the puck over the Sibley defense, all the way to the other end, and into the net for his second hat trick of the week, and a 7-5 final. Connett was credited with an assist on the final tally. The three-game sweep moves the Blackhawks to 11-6 overall, and 4-3 in the Middle Border Conference. The Blackhawks continue action next week with 3-game homestand with Amery, Altoona, and Regis/McDonnell.

The Toppers seemed to have played down to Mondovi's level and nearly lost the game after leading 10-7 after the first, then trailing 14-12 at the half and then the score was tied at 24s going into the final quarter. The Toppers were able to keep control of the ball in the fourth quarter, which forced Mondovi to foul and put their opponent on the line. Key free throws were made as well as two doubles from Maya Petersen, one from Moriah Kuehndorf and Jen Kopacz that were enough to put the Toppers ahead for the win. As a team the Toppers made 12 doubles, one triple and were just 10 of 23 from the foul line. Kopacz and Kuehndorf led in points with nine each; Jen made three doubles and three free throws and Moriah had two doubles, one triple and two free throws. Petersen followed with eight from three doubles and two free throws. Gabby Peterson finished with five from two doubles and one free throw. Megan Samens had one double and two free throws and then Jenesa Klinger made one double.

They played like they had only won one game this season against the Toppers as they trailed 22-8 near the middle of the second quarter. The scoreboard read 2412 at the halftime buzzer. The Toppers jumped out to an early lead with 15 points scored in the first quarter alone. Petersen was active under the net with three doubles, Peterson, Klinger and Kadinger each drove in one and then Kuehndorf landed a three. The second quarter they struggled some on rebounds, which put the ball in the hands of the Panthers more than the previous quarter. The girls posted nine points to Prairie Farm's eight with a three by Klinger, a double from Kadinger and Peterson and free throws by Kuehndorf. The Toppers were a yo-yo on offense with the 15 initial points, then they dropped to nine, then in the third quarter they came out swinging with 17 points, but in the fourth they scored just eight points on four baskets. Despite their own inconsistency, they still held a solid lead over the Panthers with the score at 41-18 after the third. The Panthers managed to score 12 points in the second half with six in each quarter for the final score of 49-24. Kadinger led in points in the third with a double, then a triple, followed by another double scored. Klinger had two jumpers for four points, Kuehndorf hit one shot for two, Peterson had one double and a free throw and then Petersen made one free throw. The game ended with Kuehndorf and Kadinger each draining a three and then Klinger was fouled and scored both her baskets. Kadinger led in points with 14 from her four doubles and two triples. Klinger followed with 11 from three doubles, one triple and she was two for two at the line. Kuehndorf was a point behind with ten from her one double, two triples and two free throws. And the Peterson/Petersen duo each posted seven points with three doubles and one free throw scored by each. The Toppers will dive back into a full schedule of play with a game at home this Thursday (Jan. 22) and one again on Saturday, which will be in Clayton at 1:30 p.m. They will then be back on the road Tuesday (Jan. 27) for a game against St. Croix Central. BUSTING THROUGH a pair of Prairie Farm defenders was Glenwood City junior Morgan Kadinger duirng a non-conference home game with Prairie Farm on Monday, January 19. Kadinger lead the GC girls with 14 points including ten in the second half of a 49-24 win. —photo by Shawn DeWitt Toppers fall to 2-5 in D-SC after loss to Colfax and Elk Mound Toppers tried to answer back with three pointers, but they missed. Soon time was running out and they were left with only one choice and that was to foul. That put the Vikings on the line, but to the Toppers’ advantage they only scored two out of six shot attempts. Todd Petersen scored a double and a free throw and Kadinger had a free throw as well in the fourth. The Toppers again did not have much inside action as they scored just about as many doubles as triples; five doubles and six triples. Wallace led that game in points with 12 from his four threes. Hierlmeier followed with 11 from three doubles, one triple and he was two for two from the line. Kadinger finished with seven from one double, one triple and he made two out of four free throws and then Petersen finished with one double and one free throw. Home against Elk Mound The Toppers had a 17-7 lead at one point against the Mounders in the first half, but that changed all too quickly in the third quarter. The Mounders tied the score up at 23 and then again at 26 before taking a commanding lead for the win of 49-35. The Toppers seem to be shying away from the basket and inside shots. Instead they are going for the long ball, which presents inconsistencies and that has seemed to cost them their last two games. The Toppers shot six three pointers and just eight doubles in their contest against Elk Mound. The Mounders on the other hand had 14 doubles and four triples. The game started with the Toppers ahead 10-5 with a three and free throw by Wallace, two doubles by Kadinger and one from Petersen to put them on the board. The second quarter was a wash with both teams scoring nine points. Wallace again hit a three and Petersen, Schone and Ormson banked in a shot off the glass for two. The third quarter was really the difference maker. The Topper team scored just three baskets for a total of seven points by a three from Tyler Woodruff and a double from Kadinger and Petersen. The Mounders posted 16 points of their own from five doubles and two triples, which was enough to give them their first lead of 30-26. Elk Mound’s offensive play only ignited after that with 19 points scored in the final eight minutes over the Toppers’ nine. DRIVING TO THE BASKET and putting up a shot was Glenwood They had 15 attempts from the City’s Bill Norenberg during the boys’ home game against Elk Mound line in the fourth quarter with on Saturday, January 17.

They were then at home on Saturday to host Elk Mound and again at home Monday night to host Prairie Farm. Their game in Colfax was a low scoring contest that ended in the Vikings’ favor 38-33. The Toppers trailed 11-8 after the first quarter, but they tied the game at 20s by the half after out scoring the Vikings 12-9. The Toppers did lead in the first quarter 5-0 after the Jake Hierlmeier scored two free throws and Marcus Kadinger hit a three. However, Sawyer DeMoe got the ball in his hands and the Toppers could not stop him. He drove in four shots for eight of the Vikings’ 11 points. Kip Wallace shot a three in the first quarter and then hit another one in the second, which gave the Toppers a brief lead of 12-11. The Toppers trailed again before Kadinger hit a double and then Wallace dropped his second three in for a 20-17 lead. There were three seconds left before the half and the Viking’s Brett Prince hit a triple to tie the score. Wallace knocked down his third three pointer and Hierlmeier drove in two baskets for a total of seven points in the third quarter. The Vikings however scored three doubles and a free throw of their own to tie the game once again 27-27. Hierlmeier had the first basket in the fourth quarter and then their action went cold. The Vikings scored nine straight points and the five doubles. On the Toppers’ side, Schone drained two three’s and Nate Mrdutt made one for the team’s final points. A surprising statistic was that the Toppers had just two free throw shots and one was made, which was Wallace in the first quarter. The Mounders took 19 shots from the line and were successful with nine. Schone led the team in points with eight from his two threes and one double. Wallace followed with seven from his two threes and one free throw. Then it was Kadinger and Petersen with six each from their three doubles. Woodruff and Mrdutt each finished with three and Ormson had two. 65-49 win over Panthers The Toppers had a big game against the Prairie Farm Panthers with a near 19 point lead at one point in the game. The Toppers boasted 21 points in the first quarter for a 21-8 lead. Then they were up 16 more points in the second for a 37-25 score at the half. Hierlmeier came out swinging with a triple drained, then a double, a second triple and another double for ten of the 21 points. Petersen played strong under the net with three doubles driven up and in. Kadinger also hit a triple and then Schone scored a double. After scoring 37 points in the first half, the Toppers took a nose dive out of the break with only six points posted in the third quarter. They had three baskets with one each from Wallace, Petersen and Ormson. The Panthers scored ten points, which put the score gap down to eight with the board reading 43-35 going into the fourth quarter. Prior to the fourth quarter there was just one free throw shot taken by the Toppers, but it turned into a brawl on the court in the final minutes with a staggering 18 shots attempted. Hierlmeier shot a three and then was fouled three times for six shots, which he was successful with five of them. Wallace knocked in a double and then was fouled twice and scored two out of four baskets. Petersen and Ormson also scored a double and went two for two from the line. Brandon Barstad played a quarter and made a double, which all together totaled the 22 team points for the win of 65-49. The Toppers finished with a much better inside game this time around with 16 doubles scored and seven triples. They finished with 12 free throws made out of 19. Hierlmeier had a big game with 21 points from his three triples, three doubles and he finished six for seven on the line. Petersen played one of his best games this season with 17 points from six doubles, one triple and his two free throws. Wallace followed with nine from two doubles, two free throws and one triple. Ormson had eight from three doubles and two free throws. Kadinger had two three’s. And Barstad and Schone each had one double. The Toppers will play this Saturday, January 24 in Clayton and then they will be back home on Monday for a game against Prescott. They will resume conference play on Thursday, January 29 with a road trip to Mondovi. OFF THE FINGERS TIPS — Hilltoppers’ point guard Nick Schone made this breakaway layup during the first half of Glenwood City’s home game against Elk Mound. Schone finished with eight points, including a pair of three-point shots, in a losing cause. The Mounders rallied for a 49-35 win. —photo by Shawn DeWitt Page 8 - Tribune Press Reporter - Wednesday, January 21, 2015 Topper grapplers defeated at home by Mondovi and Spring Valley By Kelsie Hoitomt GLENWOOD CITY— The Glenwood City wrestling team had a rough start to their conference dual at home as they lost to Mondovi last Tuesday and then to Spring Valley on Thursday. Mondovi’s match was a 16 point difference with the Toppers losing 46-30. On Thursday, however, they faced a state tournament quality team in the Cardinals and they were demolished, 63-9. The night started with the 145 pound match first. Spencer Peterson faced off against Dillon Larson and was defeated 7-0 after Larson got a take down and near fall in the first period and then another take down in the second. The Toppers forfeited 152 and bumped Jake O’Meara up to 160 where he went head to head with Garrett Kees. Jake quickly secured five points with a take down and near fall in the first period before he got the pin 3:04 into the match. Austin Wannemacher followed with his match against Ben Andress. Andress had a take down and then a two point near fall in the first. He got a three point near fall in the second as well as a take down and a point penalty, which put him ahead 10-0. The match ended shortly after the third period began when Andress got another take down and three point near fall for a tech fall. Jake Logghe put the Toppers back on the board after he wrestled Jake West and won by a pin in the third period. He started with four points in the first period and then three in the second after starting down, getting the escape and then adding a take down. He finished with the pin at 4:09. Logan Smith’s match against Bryce Johnson was as close as it could get. Smith had a take down in the first period and two in the second for a lead of 6-4 going into the final period. Johnson however managed to get Smith in a hold for a three M&M Bar and Grill........................ 33 15 Aflac............................................. 30.5 17.5 Barn Board................................... 29 19 Leaker’s II..................................... 28 20 Obermueller Trucking................... 26 22 Leaker’s Place.............................. 20 28 Pumphouse.................................. 14 34 Hager Construction...................... 11.5 36.5 HIGH IND.

That win gave the Toppers a one point lead of 18-17. The score continued to yo-yo after Anthony Melstrom lost to Tristen Lobe by a fall, but Austin Curvello won his match over Autumn Washok by a fall, which put the Toppers back ahead 24-23. Jake Nadeau followed at 113 and lost to Nick Pelke in the third period by a fall. Nadeau lost consciousness due to a pin hold that cut off his air-flow. Mondovi received six more points at the 120 match as well as their Austin Fedie pinned Brad Kessler in the first period. That put the score at 35-24.

[Not Called in] BOWLING NEWS Hometown League January 12, 2015 PRAIRIE FARM DARTBALL RESULTS • Full Service • FREE Estimates First Beaver Hello friends, On Christmas Eve my stepson, Joey Dushek, calls me up and says he just found some very active beaver sign and wants to know if I would show him how to make some beaver sets (trap sets) as he had a strong desire to catch his first beaver. I tell Joey, lets wait, come up with a bunch of 330 bodygrip traps and do this in a couple of weeks and besides, its Christmas! Enter our good buddy Jody Bigalke. Jody is a very active trapper, has lots of gear, and likes teaching kids how to hunt, shoot carp, fish and trap (major KAMO one on one mentor). Jody basically takes charge of the entire operation and here is the story. Saturday, January 10th High 14, low minus 16 Joey Dushek is 21, took his Trapper Education class last year, works on a cranberry marsh in western Juneau County and since he caught his first fox two weeks ago, is totally addicted to trapping. Today, Jody, Joey, and myself spent a full day exploring a couple thousand acres of forest, marsh and waterways and basically worked very hard. The first place that we made our sets was one of five that Joey had been doing some very serious scouting at. The layout was a maybe 200-acre reservoir with the vast majority of the shoreline made up of mature pine and oak forest. Beaver like most wildlife, love recent logging jobs and the reason s always the same and that is because, deer, grouse and beaver find abundant food to consume in the aspen that appears the following spring and for many years to come (grouse eat the buds). In our case there were not many beaver as there was not much food, but all Jody or myself cared about was getting Joey his first beaver and teaching him how to trap beaver. Our first set was on what you could literally call an underwater beaver trail. Beaver like muskrat, swim on trails, generally at the bottom of the waterway they are swimming once ice has formed. Depending on the age of the water system, these trails could be decades old and always create a shallow path (hard bottom) where the beaver swim and there bodies push silt and sand to the side. The ice was only two inches thick over the beaver highways and so we had to be careful. Jody Bigalke taught Joey at our first set that in a deep run it is best to set two, body grip traps, with one positioned over the other in case the beaver are swimming a bit above the bottom. Long story short, at days end we had 7 sets for beaver and the following day Jody taught Joey how to make two sets for muskrat and that first day of checking traps yielded no fur. Space is always in an issue in telling this story but hard work, cold hands, incredible wildlife sign (bobcat, wolf, coyote and deer) are a large part of the adventure called beaver trapping. Wednesday, January 14th High 21, low minus 12 Jody could not make trap checking today and most of our work was done in the dark as Joey worked until 4:30. Our experience was none short of incredible, Joey’s first set was a baited set under the ice and no beaver. The next set was a trail on the bottom of the reservoir and that is where Joey caught his first beaver after some ice chopping and trap pulling. Joey’s 3rd set held his second beaver; his 4th held his first muskrat and his 5th another rat. All of our work is being done with a spotlight and our adventure is becoming a classic. Set number 6 was a trail leading to a hut. Above the ice was ample bobcat and coyote sign. When we pulled this bodygrip it held what looked like a small bear and now Joey had a beaver to make a blanket out of. I do not know what this trophy weighed but I believe 60-pounds is a good guess. During this entire experience we were talking about biology and how many animals to safely harvest without over harvesting. As I said our sets were scattered and our second to last was made for beaver but held Joey’s 3rd rat and set number 9 held another beaver which meant 7 out of 9 held fur. Joey is pulling the traps the next time he checks them and I think it is safe to say a couple of old timers taught him a trick or two on how to trap beaver under the ice.

Edina Realty Inc., Edina, Minn., filed suit against Richard and Jonna Klucas, Star Prairie. According to the complaint, the Klucases wanted to sell their property at 2050 Hwy. 65, New Richmond, and signed a listing contract with Edina. The complaint says the Klucases agreed to pay a commission of 10% of the final purchase price if the property was sold pursuant to the terms of the listing contract, which said the commission would be paid if the property was sold to any “protected buyer.” A “protected buyer” is defined as any buyer who delivered a written offer to purchase during the term of the contract. The complaint says the listing contract expired Sept. 27, 2010, and on June 2, 2010, a couple submitted an offer to purchase, making them “protected buyers.” Then, says the complaint, after the contract expired, the Klucases sold the property to the couple who had made the earlier offer, closing on July 1, 2011. The complaint says the final purchase price was $375,000, and therefore the Klucases owe Edina $37,500. *** In a two-page decision, Judge Eric Lundell found that the attorney for Keim TS Inc., Sabetha, Kan., and Northland Insurance Company violated Wisconsin law and as a consequence may not offer damage evidence. On Jan. 29, 2013, a Keim employee, who was driving a semi-truck and trailer, struck a wooden fence and cinder block wall attached to a building owned by New Richmond Industries, 905 N. Knowles Ave., New Richmond. New Richmond Industries first asked for $11,946 in damages, and Keim offered $2,394. New Richmond reduced its demand to $8,000, and Keim offered $4,000, but then New Richmond raised its demand to $10,000. Wisconsin law precludes the admission of settlement evidence to show liability or prove the invalidity of a claim. Referencing case law, Lundell wrote, “The public policy behind the statute is to encourage settlements by ‘recogniz(ing) that a person ought to be able to buy his peace without fear that his offers of compromise will be used against him if not accepted.’ “ Lundell said Keim violated Wisconsin statute by referring to settlement negotiations and including that information in its trial brief. “In preparation for trial, the Court (judge) has already read the trial brief and the references to settlement negotiations. You cannot unring the bell,” wrote Lundell. Because the case was being tried by judge, the only remedy is to exclude the damage evidence, concluded Lundell. Following that decision, the court was notified that the parties have reached a settlement. A court trial set for Dec. 19 was cancelled. *** Hudson Hospital, Hudson, filed suit against Joshua James Olson, Hudson. ST. CROIX COUNTY DIVORCES ST. CROIX COUNTY MARRIAGES Dec. 23-Jan. 6 Terri L.

OLSON Patricia “Trish” L. Olson, 62, of Comstock died at her home on Wednesday, January 14, 2015. She was born November 13, 1952 in Rice Lake, WI to Vernon and Dorothy (Blechinger) Leisz. Trish grew up and attended high school in Turtle Lake, WI. She was married to Ronald Olson on August 1, 1970 in Cumberland, WI. Schones Tax Service, LLC 2152 Hwy 63 • Deer Park, WI Over 35 years experience Reasonable Rates Mon. - Sat. • 8a.m. - 8p.m. Call 715-263-243520c29 The two began management of the family farm in Comstock in 1971, later purchasing the operation from Ron’s father. Her passion for farming, love of the animals, and management skills helped build Bethany Valley Farms into a successful business for over 40 years. In her spare time, Trish loved to garden, shop, and cook. She also enjoyed traveling with friends and took several group tour vacations around the country and internationally. Most of all, though, Trish adored her family, especially her grandchildren. Some of her favorite memories were of times spent together each July during the annual family vacation. However, there was nothing she treasured more than having everyone together at the farm where she would prepare huge meals, spoil the grandchildren, and play an occasional game of “Old Maid”. Trish’s hospitality extended far beyond her family. Her door was always open, and she made sure no one went away hungry. Trish tirelessly took care of everyone around her and inspired us all with her generosity. She is survived by her husband, Ron of Comstock; two sons, Chad (Kristin) Olson of Cumberland and Jamie (Rochelle) Olson of Boyceville; two daughters, Sara (Sean) Annis of Eau Claire and Amanda (Isaac) Lundquist of Comstock; seven grandchildren, Makenna, Reid, Ava, Harper, Delaney, Olivia and Brady; her mother, Dorothy Leisz of Almena; ANDERSON FUNERAL HOME 607 1st Street • Glenwood City, WI 54013 • 715-265-4421 We can help you with all your: •Preneed Funeral Arrangements •Traditional Funeral Services •Traditional Cremation Funeral Services •Direct Cremation Memorial Services •Direct Cremation Dean Anderson, Funeral Director 22eowc* Serving All Faiths five brothers, Dennis (Sandy) Leisz, John (Kathy) Leisz and Tim (Jeri Lynn) Leisz, all of Clayton, and Brad Leisz and Greg Leisz, both of Turtle Lake; two sisters, Colleen (Dean) Huntington of Cumberland and Chery Leisz of Clayton and one sister-in-law, Tina Leisz of Turtle Lake.

On Thursdays Feb. 5 through April 9, student volunteers certified by the IRS and working under the supervision of a CVTC Accounting instructor will provide free income tax preparation in room 240 of the Business Education Center, 620 W. Clairemont Ave., Eau Claire. The service is provided on a first-come-first-served basis, with sign-up beginning at noon and tax preparation from 1-4:30 p.m. each day. The service will not be available March 12 during spring break. Please bring the following items to have your return prepared: • Photo ID • Social Security cards for taxpayer and all dependents • Earnings statements (W2, W-2G or 1099-R) including interest and dividend statements •Copy of last year ’s tax returns •C h i l d c a r e p r o v i d e r information and amount paid • Birthdates, including spouse and dependents •R e n t c e r t i f i c a t e s f r o m landlord or property tax statement • F i n a n c i a l i n s t i t u t i o n ’s routing and account numbers for direct deposit Returns cannot be prepared for those with complicated returns as identified by the IRS, such as rental or business income that cannot be reported on a Schedule C-EZ. “All of the students have to go through IRS training and certification process, and everything is also reviewed by myself or others with tax preparation experience,” said Jason Szymanski, CVTC Accounting instructor and program supervisor.
